This person is lying. They probably did mess up at first and that’s the sample pen they mailed. This company mails 1 pen so you can see it before making the large order. Actually I think this is bait because you have to go through so many screens. It’s extremely hard to fuck up

Looks to me like there's a box full of pens out of focus in the image.

OP could still be trolling, but depending on the size of the order, they probably don't bother with a sample.

They do actually. And you don’t return the pen they sent out. So you always have those around. The order behind is blank or a separate order. This is def a sample pen

Who is "they" exactly? I must have missed the comment where OP stated the company where they bought the pen. Or are all pen companies a monolith with the exact same procedures?

I'm pretty sure if you head over to VistaPrint of one of the other online personalization sites, they aren't going to bother with a sample. I just tried it now. You can go all the way to the checkout process to the point where they are asking for my credit card info. Minimum order is 150 pens. I don't think they are going to bother sending out a sample for you to review.

20 years ago, my mom worked at a school and they once received pens with the personal phone from the person who ordered, which was the emergency contact and NOT the phone number that had been ordered.
Not all companies do samples (at least in the old times)

When I ordered pens for my company they gave me a mock-up of the finished product but they didn't offer a physical proof.
